Guys, Here is the calculations that i have done, please take a look and let me know if i have done this correctly. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=028c5e1c-57dc-46cf-b47d-c4ce129a083d&file=Gas_2011_07_05.xls
Inlet pressure of gas is 95 psig and temperature is 1150 F.
The pipe is made up of a combination of 8" and 10" pipe. The pipe starts as 8" turns into 10" and then ties into a 36" stack.
Here are some details of the piping
Length and Fittings of 8" Pipe
Length - 55 ft
90 deg bends - 3...
I am using the sudden expansion formula from the attached website and it is only giving me a 70% reduction in pressure due to the sudden expansion. So, at base of the stack I am getting 4.5 psig.
However, if i work back from the top of the stack it does not converge. The pressure drop...
The 15 psig was calculated right before the gas entered the stack. Can PV=nRT be used to calculate the pressure in the stack after it has been expanded? Also, can the transition from the pipe to the stack be treated as a sudden expansion from 10" to 36" or can it be assumed that the pressure...
If a gas passing through a 10" pipe has a pressure of 15 psig enters a stack that is 36" in diameter. The stack is 80 ft long and is open to the atmosphere. Would the gas as it enters the stack still have a pressure? or would the pressure at the base of the stack be atmospheric.
